This was an excellent course with case-based learning supported by specific training to help patients accomplish their goals in their end of life care. The training about complementary alternative medicine was also very helpful. I feel more prepared to have discussions with patients about these topics in end-of-life care and about CAM discussions with patients after this course.

This is an excellent course to review the major issues and information that one needs to make clinical decisions in situations of having patient-centric care.

place the answer "block" away from the question so that the reader can look at the questions again while the "answer block" is still on.
